Steph claiming his ankle is fine does not automatically mean that his ankle is fine; remember, he was telling Jackson seconds after rolling it that he wanted to go back in. Steph is a solider, but he's not a doctor. I wouldn't say that him starting against LA is a given.

But, either way, I think they roll the Lakers.

They either win it for Steph or they're inspired by him toughing it out and suiting up. Either way you slice it, the Warriors have too much damn talent for old man Bryant to get off and carry another victory. Barnes is waking up, Bogut is mobile and healthy, Thompson is stroking... if Lee wakes back up and starts cranking out 20/12 games again, this team is a monster first round matchup.

LA shouldn't stand a chance; put them back by 10 in the first quarter and maintain the margin FTW.

I hate it when people refer to the Lakers as if they were the only team in town.

Jazz falling out party has been tough to watch, but the Mavericks have surged back and probably would be the eight seed right now if Dirk never had to miss any game time because of his knee. It's not likely they make the playoffs, but it's not far fetched either. So, hopefully we beat the Lakers and helps the Mavs out while we continue our march towards the sixth seed.

Is it just me or you kinda like the Mavs.... 2nd favorite team?

Nah, I don't have a second favorite team.

Just rooting for who has the best shot at knocking the Lakers out of the playoffs then?

That's certainly what I'm doing.

The Jazz are garbage, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna root for the Lakers to make it instead of them or the Mavs.
